Disney World Part 2

Next up, Epcot.

Our first ride there was Journey into Imagination with Figment, and Maile loved it. She also enjoyed the hands-on exhibits in the Imagination Pavilion. Here she’s conducting music using a projection screen.

Just outside the Imagination Pavilion were water fountains that featured ‘jumping’ streams of water. Since it was such a hot day, the water was a temptation too hard to resist –-- for all of us! We spent a LOT of time enjoying these.

I was the next victim, but I didn’t mind a bit! (Notice Mai in the background dancing around.)

Another of Maile’s favorite attractions in Epcot was The Seas with Nemo and Friends. Besides the ride itself, we saw a dolphin show in their huge aquarium, plus she participated in an interactive activity called Turtle Talk. In addition, there are several small aquariums displaying all sorts of interesting sea creatures. Maile wanted us to take her picture in front of this lionfish, because it is Mason’s favorite fish and she wanted to show it to him.

 

She loved the seahorses. See the one right above her head?

After several more attractions, including the Universe of Energy (which featured dinosaurs!), Living with the Land boat ride, and The Circle of Life, we headed over to Fort Wilderness (the campground in Disney World) for the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue dinner show. This time, a Disney boat was our transportation of choice.

Bill and I have been to this dinner show a few times in the past, and we’ve always enjoyed it. In fact, we were celebrating our 39th wedding anniversary there last week. They announced our names and we were invited to get up and dance!

After the dessert (yummy strawberry shortcake) was served, the waitresses passed out washboards for us to ‘play’ with utensils.

We left Fort Wilderness and headed to the Magic Kingdom for the new fireworks show called Summer Nightastic, which is really, really a good one. It was followed by the Electric Light Parade, another dazzling Disney production . . . a great ending to another magical day!
